HUB NETWORKING

Networking That Builds Genuine Connections and Real Referrals.

Fresh is an ecosystem of networking groups we call Hubs. Each Hub meets fortnightly in a local café, with dedicated private rooms or quiet areas equipped for engaging and intimate networking sessions. This setting allows you to truly get to know your fellow members and build strong connections. Fresh Hubs meet face-to-face over a meal —because no one should have to network while feeling hangry!

Is there no Fresh Networking Hub in your area, or have you spotted an untapped region full of potential? You could be the one to bring the Fresh experience to your community!

As a Fresh Hub Founder, you’ll have the unique opportunity to create and lead a thriving networking community in your local area. We’re always on the lookout for motivated networkers to expand the Fresh Networking footprint by opening new Hubs. Whether you’re building from scratch or growing an existing network, you’ll play a key role in fostering genuine connections among business leaders who thrive on connections-based networking.

Frequently Asked Questions

One thing’s for sure: when you attend one of our Networking Hub meetings, you’ll be greeted with a warm and friendly welcome. After placing your breakfast order, you’ll have the chance to mingle informally with members and guests.

The formal part of the networking meeting includes a short pitch where you can present your business. Then, we proceed to our main presentation to learn more about a member’s business and have an opportunity to ask for connections with members or guests.

Depending on the agenda, you might also hear some business networking tips, share positive news, or join a discussion on innovation and change.

Regardless of the outcome, you’ll hear from us. If successful, we’ll guide you through onboarding and introduce you to your new Hub, where fellow Fresh members will be ready to help you thrive.

All Networking Hubs welcome guests, so you’re free to visit other Hubs across Melbourne, expanding your business network as far as you’d like. Our Hubs are curated with care, ensuring there’s no more than one business per specialised industry. If you’re interested in switching Hubs or joining an additional one, that might be possible depending on availability—but you’ll need to chat with our membership team.

Each Hub has a leadership team with five key roles, ensuring meetings run smoothly and everyone gets the most out of the Fresh experience.

Co-Facilitator: Leads the first half of the meeting and tracks key metrics.
Education Coordinator: Plans member presentations and networking education.
Meet and Greeter: Welcomes guests and introduces them to the group.

At the core of our business Networking Hubs are our Members! Every member plays a part in the hub’s success, contributing their energy, expertise, and support.
